Vocational Education and Training (VET) is considered as the best solution to improve opportunities of youth who have limited resources, skills or motivation to enable them to continue pursuing higher education (Lerman, 2018). TVET develops professional skills in youth with basic knowledge and scientific principles (Billet, 2011). This prepares youth for both formal employment and self-employment. To promote self-employment, TVETs curricula usually include entrepreneurship, agricultural science, home economics, hospitality and tourism related courses for social reproduction and the transformation of vocational practices (Maclean & Wilson, 2009). It is there important to understand what type of courses are offered in vocational training centres and it influence on enrolment to TVET. The study adopted Education Production Function Theory which suggests that an increase in enrolment to TVET is dependent on the inputs such as the type of course offered. The scope of the study was 28 County Vocational Training Centers with 161 trainers and 2931 trainees. Stratified random sampling was used in sampling out the 15 VTCs across Trans-Nzoia County. Purposive sampling was used to sample VTC heads & director while simple random sampling was used to obtain trainers and trainees. The sample size had 464 respondents; 1 VTC director, 15 head of VTCs, 108 trainers and 340 trainees. Questionnaires and interview guide was used to collect data.
